Again reiterating that there was good reason for removing the "Man Out Of Time" scene from Marvel's The Avengers, Chris Evans recently told Collider at the Toronto Film Festival that those aspects of Steve Rogers' story will be explored in Captain America: The Winter Soldier and teased how the material cut from the superhero ensemble will play a big role in his next solo instalment. The site even asked him about whether he knows what direction a possible third movie will take, but he unfortunately only replied with, "Maybe".
"The most I am looking forward to is exploring a little bit of Steve’s…they had all those deleted scenes with The Avengers because a lot of those scenes are for Captain 2, you know what I mean? It was good stuff, but it all felt like that was his story. It is a different movie. With The Avengers there was so much to cram in. So I think making it any longer would have just been exhausting. A lot of that stuff [that was cut] is for Captain America 2. That is his story. It is him trying to on a personal level adjust to the fact that everyone he knows is gone and the whole Peggy Carter of it all. There are a lot of things that he kind of has to come to terms with. So I don’t know. I am excited to kind of see flashes of the first Captain, if you know what I mean, and to see his memory of what we now know as an audience of who he was."
With Chris Evans signed up for only six movies (rather than the usual nine that Marvel Studios gets their actors to commit to), he made the rather surprising revelation that he would like Captain America to make some sort of cameo appearance in
Thor: The Dark World. Of course, this isn't confirmation that it will happen, and it's highly unlikely that Marvel would want to waste one of his contracted appearances on a cameo. Even so, it IS something that he's both discussed with Chris Hemsworth and is clearly enthusiastic about.
"[Chris] Hemsworth and I even talked about that. I would love to do a little thing in Thor 2. It is obviously going to be tricky trying to work out the plot, the reason why I am not there to help him, and why he is not there to help me. But the best thing about Marvel is that, like I said, the movies were so good and we had such a good time making them."
